> But no one has shown any interest in fixing exim. [...] Hello, The packaging of Exim's new major version (v4) will use debconf, the preliminary test packages already do. Because the configuration file format has changed in a fundamental way, the configuration cannot be converted automatically[1] and Exim v4 comes as new packages (exim4-base+exim4-daemon-something) and not as upgrade for Exim v3. cu andreas [1] convert4r4 can try but: "The output file MUST be checked and tested before trying to use it on a live system. The conversion script is just an aid which does a lot of the "grunt work". It does not guarantee to produce an Exim 4 configuration that behaves exactly the same as the Exim 3 configuration it reads."
